Although I don't have my wind tunnel available today, my guess would be that anything under 100 mph, the difference in the amount of drag would probably be too small to notice.

Removed my Cobra Nose and reinstalled my "Original" GT Nose. Am I the only one that actually prefers the retro look of the original grille? Plus being smaller, I hope to have less "drag" (to help offset the giant wing). The main reason for removal was actually because I didn't like the curled-up Cobra lip...and some turd-smear did a super suck surface prep job on the bumper cover before painting it - looked perfect for a few months, but now tiny bubbles are popping up all along the bottom.

There will be no difference in your car other than looks.

Well incase you didnt know Buffalozone has a wind tunnel in his garage...so he needs a better answer than that.

Isn't the way we determine rwhp by putting it on a dyno?
WTF difference does it make if the car even has a bumper?
The numbers will not change if you take ALL the body panels off,the drivetrain is the only relevant factor.

well maybe if you lower the convertible top on the drop top GT's and Cobras they will make like 15 more Hp on the dyno, or 15 hp less?

NEVER stick your hand out the window while driving or just sitting in your car, you'll loose 5rwhp.
If you must stick your hand out the window, shortening the antenna will regain 3 of these lost 5rwhp.

Ok, I agree that changing rotors can change the amount of RWHP, you are right.

You must hang out with the 6 cylinder mustang squad in your little one horse town and I bet they just envy you don't they?

Hmmm...I wonder.... If I removed my hood scoop, side scoops, taped up my front bumper, removed my antennea (sp?), took my spoiler off, put some really skinny wheels/tires on it, and removed my side mirrors...do you think I could hit that magical 300 rwhp without even doing anything to the engine?

I could put some Vtec stickers on the door creases to push me over the top!

I'd probably make 350 rwhp!
